Despite being momentarily trapped inside the overturned vehicle, the driver’s injuries appeared to be minor, according to Greenwich police.

According to Lt. William Leash, the two vehicles were traveling toward each other on Harmony Road shortly after noon, when the SUV — a Mitsubishi Endeavor — made a left in front of the sedan — a Ford Contour — at Swedesboro Road.

“When they struck, the SUV flipped onto its left side, trapping the driver,” said Leash. “She complained of some pain, so she was taken to Underwood for observation.”

The driver inside the Ford, a 41-year-old Clarksboro man, declined medical treatment at the scene.

No citations have been issued, but are pending further investigation, according to Leash.
